The Grande Condos for Sale in the Columbia District

Two 39-story towers in the Columbia District

Two towers, one address, and the bay just a few blocks away. The Grande is a pair of 39-story condominium towers at 1199 and 1205 Pacific Highway in Downtown San Diego’s Columbia district (92101), completed in 2005 by Bosa Development. Each tower holds 221 residences, 442 homes in all, a few blocks from the bay and Santa Fe Depot.

The Grande’s twin towers are a signature part of the waterfront skyline, and the homes inside are built for real living. Two-bedroom condominiums start at approximately 1,336 square feet, and two-bedrooms with a den run from roughly 1,624 to 1,945 square feet. For buyers who want a little more of a house feel, two-bedroom townhomes with a den range from about 1,879 to 1,980 square feet. Residents enjoy a concierge and gated security, a pool and spa, a fitness center, a BBQ area and guest suites for visiting family.

Step outside and the bay is a few blocks west, Little Italy a few blocks north, and Santa Fe Depot brings the trolley, Coaster and Amtrak right to the doorstep. For buyers who want full-service tower living with all of downtown within walking distance, The Grande is well worth a look.
